Cruse Wine Co. North Coast Red Blend Monkey Jacket 2022 NO20230830 Aged for 9 months inIn Gallonis words, this is a delicious everyday red and a fabulous value in handcrafted, artisan California wine. Cant beat that praise! Here are the details: a blend of Carignan, Valdigui, Petite Sirah, Syrah (and more) with gorgeous aromatic lift (from 70% whole cluster), bright red fruit, spice, and just a touch of wildness. Fermented and aged in concrete and old barrels, it's crunchy, complex, and refreshingly unpolishedin the best way.
